Like a fire burnt out
'Cause I'm so burnt out
Don't know who I am
You go down so smooth
For my soul you're the fruit
Screaming out, "Goddamn!"
I can't seem to get away from you
I'm followed around
Everything slowed down
My mama said I should watch out for you
Since the tenth grade when I started acting a fool
And now I'm leaning on you
Purple afternoon
The sun goes down way too soon
When I'm thinking of you
And now I'm leaning on you
Purple afternoon
Why'd you have to leave so soon?
So soon
And now I'm burnt to hell
Can't forget the way you smell
Can't remember how far I fell into your arms at night
Started habits that I can't stop for my life
And now I'm leaning on you
Purple afternoon
The sun goes down way too soon
When I'm thinking of you
And now I can't find a way to hide
'Cause what I'm hiding from's inside
And now I'm drinking, smoking
Popping, thinking, repeating like the seasons
And now I'm leaning on you
Purple afternoon
The sun goes down way too soon
When I'm thinking of you
And now I'm leaning on you
Purple afternoon
Why'd you have to leave so soon?
So soon
